off to a wedding and not sure what to wear

[drdolly]

morning!

it's going to be 16 degrees here in melbourne today and i am going to a wedding. here is my dilema.

i have two dresses that i can wear, one being a black wrap dress, one being a scarlett red dress.

i think that i have heard that wearing black to a wedding is poor form or bad luck...

and the red scarlett dress will stand out somewhat... and risk looking like a floosy or ...

any thoughts or advice for me?

Sounds like you should be wearing a snow suit instead :Hehe:

I don't think it's that bad these days to wear Black to a wedding. IMO I think the black would probably be better than the red, due to the floosy factor :P :Hehe:

Hi drdolly, my daughter-in-law to be helped me pick out my mother of the grooms dress & it was black. More people are wearing black to weddings. I've been to wedding where black was 1 of the 2 colors the bride chose for her brides maids dresses. So wear it & have a great time.

i would pick the black over the red, i dont suppose you know what the bridal party are wearing?

[drdolly]

no idea as to what the bridal party are wearing. something summery no doubt. poor things will freeze their tooshes off!

I'd go with the black too. It doesn't seem to matter these days what colour you wear to weddings or funerals.
I would wear an Ugg Jacket and Boots too! Beanie, gloves, thermal underwear. Yep, I would look real nice! Hope you don't freeze your ar*e off.
Have a good time.

it is cold here.so i would guess most would freeze thier things off.

Dolly I would go with the black too but I would brighten it up with a bright flower or scarf or something :)

I was just about to say something similar... do you have a light coloured wrap or jacket? Make your accessories a different colour, so you can see that you've added colour to your outfit.

Black is becoming more acceptable at a wedding... at our wedding 75% of our female guests wore black and that ranged from my Aunty in her 70's to friends in their late 20's. My bridesmaids wore black as well.

[drdolly]

black it is....
i will have a hunt around in my jewellery stock to find something to brighten it up. good thing is i dont have to worry about finding a parking space!

[Colby]

What about going for a more Audrey Hepburn look with big pearls around your neck and wrist... if it suits the dress style of course.

[Patricia]

Good choice Dolly...hope you have a great time....at least parking is one thing you dont have to worry about.

How about a pic to show us you all dressed up in your glad rags?

Please!!!!!

[drdolly]

maybe, yes, may be no! Am feeling a little on the frumpy side today...

best i go get ready. i will let you how it goes...

[sandydee]

i agree with dressing the black up :yes:

[Di Nana]

Hope you have a nice time, I wore black to a wedding tw:P o weeks ago, had a little lacy thing that was a colour, and I noticed lots of others in black, what I did notice that alot of young ones don't even dress up, wore things that I would wear to the shop, my god why are you freezing at 16%, lucky if it reaches 2 here today, at 16 I would be wearing a bikini :eww: well 16 years maybe, not degees

[helen01]

hope all went well and you were'nt too cold.
